Milan - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?
Yes, though clothes and shoes can be VERY expensive here. I've yet to find many good compromises between low-quality stores like H&M and Bershka, and the €180 blouses you see in every shop window. - Jun 2018
Wouldn't say that. Milan is expensive when it comes to these things. Better go out of town to find inexpensive treasures. - Sep 2016
Not too much in the way of artisan work is done here anymore. You can get ceramics, furniture, and clothes. - Aug 2013
Wine, food, pottery, shoes and other leather goods, football tickets, opera, travel. - Jun 2010
Food and fashion. - Dec 2008
If you have any money left -- designer handbags, clothes and gas coupons to get out of the city and to all those places you have heard about! - Jan 2008
